If you've ever wondered what it's like to run a magazine or how crazy my personal life is, be sure to read the behind-the-scenes peek at the daily trials and tribulations of running True West. Culled straight from my Franklin Daytimer, it contains actual journal entries, laid out raw and uncensored. Some of it is enlightening. Much of it is embarrassing, but all of it is painfully true.

July 30, 2010 Drove from Albuquerque to Zuni yesterday, taking the cutoff at Grants and down through El Moro Rock. Rained off an on most of the way. Beautiful clouds, land looked watered and green most of the way. Landed in Eagar, south of Sringerville, at about six last night. Got a motel room on the second floor with a balcony bench and sat outside and sipped homemade margaritas and watched the rain.

Leaving this morning to drive back to Cave Creek. Been on the road for three weeks and am ready to get back in harness.

About Me

For ten years (2002-20012) he did a video version of True West Moments which ran on the Westerns Channel.

Triple B is also the President and executive editor of True West magazine, positions he has held since 1999.
He has written a dozen books on Old West characters like Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Wild Bill Hickok and a three-part series (so far) on Classic Gunfights which appear in True West. These popular, heavily illustrated books have sold over 90,000 copies, so far.
In 2014 he published a visual memoir of growing up on Route 66 called "The 66 Kid," and he is currently working on a bio of Geronimo.
As for retirement, BBB says, "Work is only work if you'd rather be someplace else. And I'm exactly where I want to be."
